In the movie Joy, after exposing a partner’s tricks, Jennifer Lawrence’s character Joy Mangano walks out of a hotel with black glasses, wavy bob hair, a black leather jacket, and a casual look. At that moment, Joy did not know that she was about to buy the entire building she had just passed, nor did she know that she would become the president of an extremely famous retail group. She just kept going, doing what she loved, doing what needed to be done.
Likewise, the moment Jennifer Lawrence – a girl from Kentucky came to New York to look for opportunities in a slum area, she did not expect that one day she would sign important contracts in luxury hotels or the day she would own her own business. Owning a 5-bedroom house worth more than 7 million USD in Beverly Hills came so quickly.
The day Harper’s Bazaar met Jennifer Lawrence, the meeting took place at the Greenwich Hotel in New York by Robert De Niro – who starred with Jennifer Lawrence in all three films directed by David O. Russell, Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle and recently. especially Joy. Lawrence is still as generous and comfortable as he is the owner of the hotel. You can picture Jennifer Lawrence relaxing on the sofa, her little dog Pippi running around the room.
Knowing Jennifer Lawrence’s extremely talkative characteristics, the reporter made a challenging suggestion: “I think we should start in silence.” Of course, J.Law struggled: “No. This makes me want to say more than anything. There are thousands of words pouring out that want to flood my head.” And so the conversation ran from topic to topic endlessly.
Days not on set
If the life of “the woman named joy” is told vividly on the screen with simple everyday details, the life of the woman named J.Law cannot lack ordinary small corners. quiet.
A script about her life certainly cannot ignore the bustling dinners she spent with Adele, Emma Stone and other close friends like Amy Schumer and Lena Dunham. However, J. Law is not a party girl but a nana – grandmother, extremely lunar – as she admits. “I rarely leave the house late. I’m kind of lazy. I’m a grandmother. If I have to leave the house late to go to a party, I’ll probably vomit.” And at one of those friends’ parties, J.Law vomited all over the room, broke the candles and didn’t clean up after “because I’m so evil”. She is the type of person who is willing to accept a mistake or two and sometimes speaks quite “salty”.
J. Law said he rarely appears in the media, unless he needs to promote a movie: “I want people to know a little about me.” Instead, her life is measured by her efforts at work.
If he doesn’t work that day, J. Law will wake up and take his pet dog Pippi for a walk. You could do pilates or something. Then she went out with her friends to count down her free time or as she often called it, the wasted time of her life. Then J. Law watched TV and went to sleep. “That was my day,” J. Law shared.
“So what makes you laugh?” –“Those are the titles of The Onion newspaper. The most recent title that made her laugh was “Ugly Girl Killed”.
Every movie has a melody
Going back to writing a script about Jennifer Lawrence, of course you cannot ignore the huge impression of director David O. Russell. This actor-director duo brought her three Oscar nominations and a golden statuette for her role as Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook .
Although they worked together so well, J. Law also struggled many times, even when she was sleeping on the plane and the director also put headphones in her ears so she could absorb a suitable song for the upcoming scene. next. J. Law protested: “I don’t want to listen to this song. I understand this movie.” Yet when filming, with David O. Russell’s talent for editing and placing everything in its place, J. Law saw that he was right. J. Law revealed that she and O. Russell understand each other down to every look in their eyes. There is an interesting thing, when the director visited her right when she moved to a new house, he was extremely moved by the image of J. Law opening boxes of his old things. This image was shown in the movie Joy through a container of childhood drawings of the character Joy Mangano.
“In my opinion, we need to gain weight for normal body standards. At least then I won’t see myself as the fattest person.”
In addition to this moment, the script of the woman named J. Law certainly cannot lack the image of her early days from her hometown of Kentucky to New York in search of opportunities. At that time, she didn’t have much money, so she rented a small, damp room with no stove or hot water. At night, the rats were so rampant that she didn’t dare step foot in the bathroom. One time, the rats gnawed on J. Law’s bread. She used a knife to cut off the rat’s jagged tooth marks and continued eating. At that time, life was so hard but she was so happy, joy was shining on her face. Her parents came to visit and seeing their daughter like that, they knew that she had grown up with her choices.
The reward for her efforts to find a role and assert herself was the first Oscar nomination for J. Law when she was only 20 years old with the movie The Winter Bone. She continues to take advantage of global coverage opportunities in blockbuster films such as X-Men and The Hunger Games.
Fight for women’s rights
J. Law’s brave face, braided hair and bow held high in The Hunger Games are impressive. It can be seen immediately that Katniss Everdeen in the movie and J. Law in real life are both true revolutionaries.
Many times Jennifer Lawrence has spoken out to fight for gender equality, at least the right to equal pay for women in Hollywood. J. Law said: “I don’t understand why the word feminism (feminist movement) is so scary to people. It shouldn’t be like that, because the word means equality. If society is progressing, you will feel stronger as a woman, and you will want to be taken more seriously. You don’t have to deny women’s natural privileges. We are sensitive. We please others. We know how to sympathize. These things sometimes prevent you from asking for what you need or prevent you from daring to make mistakes. J. Law added: “When Sony was hacked, I saw a 21% salary difference between men and women. I realized that if I have a voice, I should use it in case there are many women out there who are not paid fairly for what they contribute.”
“We please others. We know how to sympathize. These things sometimes prevent you from asking for what you need or prevent you from daring to make mistakes.”
Shine more and more
J. Law is clearly a powerful star in Hollywood, and is also a golden girl loved by many people for her straightforwardness and honesty. She is ready to answer the press that the cut-out Dior evening dress she wore the day she received the Best Actress award for the movie Joy at the Golden Globes in January was a backup dress: “I can’t wearing the dress I originally chose because that day coincided with my monthly menstrual period. This cut-out dress is quite loose in the front so I don’t have anything to worry about. The original one was too tight, I didn’t want to constrict my uterus.”
You can imagine that J. Law’s fashion style is also her personality, strong, no-frills, flashy. On the street, you will often see J. Law wearing trousers and high heels every day. In the cold season, she wears a long coat and sometimes a coat to cover her pet dog Pippi. On the red carpet, J. Law will wear elegant, feminine outfits from the fashion house Dior.
Upcoming J. Law is a strong candidate for the role of Betty Pack, a real-life female version of James Bond. Big projects still touch J. Law’s hands and every year the star named after her becomes more sparkling and brighter. However, when she gets out of her gorgeous, gorgeous clothes, she is still a close, simple J. Law, taking care of her pet dog, raising money through the charity fund that bears her name, having fun with her friends, worked enthusiastically and when small beautiful things came into view, “I bought myself a pair of earrings. I don’t have a boyfriend so I have to buy it for myself.”
